You've got a point there. I've been through some of the bad times so a few 7-9 seasons in a row don't send me over the edge.

It's easy to accept mediocrity when it used to be so much worse. But it is nonetheless unacceptable. I don't think anyone needs to be in panic mode either.

I do feel like we're gonna kick ass this season tho and make it to the playoffs.

Exactly. When the team is mired in four or five win seasons you see no hope. Seven win seasons are a play or two a week away from being ten win seasons with the trip to post season. While I am disappointed by 7-9 seasons, I am not terribly worried because with a few minor tweaks they can easily win 12 or 13 next year.

I don't think it is panic mode, but I think it is being realistic. We have been 7-9 four of the last 5 seasons. That's plain terrible, and despite how we fought and were close in multiple games this season this team was nowhere close to a 10 win team. Really far off.

Yeah, I am hoping we break through next year and I do think it is possible, but I also think it is possible we are 7-9 again

Every team in the league can possibly finish 7-9 next season. Every last one. So many factors involved.
